"...and I am not surprised in the least, that he talks to dead things...something is wrong with me or I am just way too used to him..." She mused out loud to herself and shook her head softly, finishing off what breakfast she had on her plate. "So, seems this lovely Captain needs to get a move on his plans then and hopefully his has...I'm getting a bit tired of waiting and looking around corners."
"Since when do you wait and look around corners, Pip?" Casually walking into the room, wearing a deep blue cloak in addition to his usual attire today. "I though that was Malik's area of expertise, not yours." A tilt of his head to the side slightly and a chuckle. "Just getting to breakfast I see..." Personally, they always slept too late in his opinion. Then again they seemed to take their reveries in one chunk rather than opposed to his style.

"His plans are more direct than what I would use. personally, if I were seriously plotting the downfall of Dimitri in teh most inobtrusive way...I'd just ruin the treasury. steal, destroy, whatever, get rid of his money. then he'll have to raise taxes. eventually the people will revolt at being starving and taxed to death and take care of it themselves. take longer, alot longer..but we'd never have to even set a foot near deepwater in combat."
A look up at Keiran.
"Yes, that's normally my job. but she's sharing it with me right now. I hope se didn't keep you up or wake you?"
Onyx watched his brother, going for killing..he wasn't cncerned. he threw himelf on his back, damn that snake aroudn him, and kicked up, hard, aiming for the sweetspot right under Moonstone's chin. that instant ko pressurepoint nerve center. OF course if he missed..we'll he'd have to think of a way to dodge and fend agaisnt his twin while getting out of that snake's hold.

"Funny, and here I was thinking you would just love to go do the job yourself. Seems I need to study how you go about your vengeful ways more. Though nice that it would be a lot less mess." Piper shrugged lightly and turned a look to her father then a point to Malik. "I get it from him sometimes, that's all."
"Rubbing off on each other indeed, taming the beasts of both." Oh yes, hes was quite in the turn of phrase mood today, just something he idly did from time to time. But he shook his head to Malik, hands clasped behind his back. "No, I've been awake for a time now. I was out riding actually, getting a better fell of the surrounding land and the like. Though it wasn't a long trip, Nerian got jittery." A chuckle a that, his poor beloved cowardly Zephyr. "And how are you two this morning. Well rested I hope, seeing as who knows when chaos might happen." Well rested...he could only laugh inwardly at that. Ah, young love.

"Destruction, and vengence, are different things. dethroning Dimitri is easiest on us through indirect means. that way, no woudl be hero or vengeful aristocracy comes after us. if it was vengence I was after..indeed I'd go right through the front door and slaughter every moving human including dimitri."
Then a grin at Kieran.
"Sated and well rested indeed. so tell me, where are these famous journals you keep that I hear about? I'm interested in what you may have observed about things here that might be of use. after all and outsider'd view can often be better than those on the inside. And any notice of a large dragon in teh area? if the oracle is going to assist I'd think he'd be here by now."

"Oh several are in a pack in my room, Nerian keeps a few more for me in his saddle bags, and well the rest are all back in Andal. And all are under a binding spell...I have a thing about privacy at times." Show them to Malik? Perhaps. After all, he did like to share with those who were willing to learn. "But I didn't notice any dragons. Darkness, a lot of over sized Underdark critters, fire pillars, biped cats clawing at each other. All in all, more than I expected to see. Like I said, Nerian was jittery."
"Nerian is always jittery." And when he was, he wanted Serino to go with him, and it seemed Serino was more inclined to listen to Nightmare over Nerian. Go figure. Oh riding...how long since she had gone riding in an open field? Seemed like forever and she sighed at her moment of nostalgia before she focused back on the present. "So what if this dragon doesn't in fact come?"

"Then wether moonstone likes it or not, I'm useing Bode's ability to creat those flaming pillars."
Simply put. he wasn't risking his home and thier lives over Moonstone's concern.
"Her father as well will just have to deal with it. I'll have no other alternative, unless we really want to piss the Oracle off and have me send of allies of my own to come across planes."
A slight shrug about it. he didn't seem to concerned over the whole thing, now did he.
"the underdark is full of it's own dangers, and beauties."
That was all he was going to say about the trip on Neiran, though he noticed Piper's sigh.
"You know, if you want Piper..you can go for a ride yourself. your not confined to here. just be careful is all I'm asking and stay away form that one town you foudn before..Lostagrace was it?"

Hit to his arm. Of course he would say that and say it nonchalantly. Her hitting him was her giving her own opinion on what he thought about that little thing. Whether it mattered or not wasn't the point, the point was that he knew. "And please don't anger that woman any further...she likes to yell at me for it and frankly I don't want her yelling at me like a child caught stealing a cookie." Then a look over to Malik at his mentioning of her going out. "I can't be careful down here, remember? I'm sure I'd just get myself hurt or abducted, or something. Besides, what with impending doom here, it doesn't sound like such a good idea." Though she guessed that if this was going to be deemed home she might as well get used to it. Maybe she would go out for a couple of days and see how she could manage. Of course she knew that would make Malik worry like hell, but hey, he had to let her try.
"Good to know you have a back up plan." Though he could easily tell Piper's dislike of it, seeing as she took to hitting. Then a look back to Malik. "Yes, it is. I'm quite impressed with it all really. I was expecting something more...menacing. But it's not so bad really." He gave another laugh. "Though if I intend to go out farther I might talk Serino going with me. Nerian can be brave when he needs to be, but under normal circumstance, he's just not the adventurous type too much."

"Well..if you wouldn't like to go out riding..hmm..perhaps some more time in teh arena learing your swordplay?"
A chuckle to her at that, though he did notice the hit on his arm. but that's just hwo it was. he needed either the dragon's fire, bode's pillars, or more extraplanar help. Though a nod to Kieran.
"Perhaps sometime I'll ride with you, Nightmare coudl use the excersize I'm sure. But for now I'm needed here to make sure we are prepared for an attack. either from Dimitri or the Captian."
A smirk at Kieran.
"after all, nother Drow can't trust me anymore than I trust him."

And he got a distasteful look at that. "I'll practice in my own time..." Not that she wouldn't she would just procrastinate heavily about it. "You know your own magic, can't you just set up some traps or something in the horribly malicious way you usually do?"
"Another reason I didn't go far. Never know when something might happen here and we need all the skilled swords we can get, right? Perhaps we can call it scouting." Though a nod back to Malik. Kieran wasn't stupid by a ling shot and though Malik wasn't the type of drow he was acquainted with he was still a drow. Kieran highly suspected that the only one Malik trusted really was himself, his horse, and Piper. But that sat fine with him really, they were who they were after all. "At least we're on high ground with...trees...on the sides." He guessed they were trees anyway. "Pretty good setup for defense."

"Necromancy isn't really a 'trap' setting magic. it's mostly poisons, diseases, stealign the essences of life and soul. and of course bringign the dead back to life as useful servants and warrior pets...Though..I coudl try a little humorous scare tactic."
He got up, moving away form the room, coming back with a bag that clattered as it shook, and he sat back down digging in it some, before finding a bonechip of his fancy and setting it on the table, putting the bag aside, looking at it.
"Rujarkian orc. nasty beasts. not as dumb as thier deathfist or crushbone cousins. bigger too. I'd almost thin they were minature ogres as opposed to big orcs."
he tossed the bonechip on teh floor, a few of the hissing words in his own tongue, ancient even to him..and the bone chips grew and broek and formed into the heavy set of bone and tooth that was a five foot two inch orc, massive tusked teeth on teh lower jaw, bone structure that hinted to a great amount of muscle ont eh frame had it been alive..
"Go out ot the only docking a ship can come to. the way is shut from there."
Green light emanated from it's eyes and it moved out to do it's master's will.
"That might give anyone a bit of a pause. save maybe the Captian himself."

Okay so it was interesting to a point. Yes, a little disturbing that he literally had a bag of bones but it was jsut one of those things she turned the other cheek to. Not that it bothered her, she actually found it quite funny to a point. The trick was useful in it's own right and it was always a but fun to see what he came up with at times really. "I'm just glad that they're under your control and not someone else's." A look to her father. "Kieran Silvercrest..."
He chuckled as he looked up from the journal he had in hand and had been scribbling in. Now where did he pull that from? Well he always kept one on him...never knew when you'd need one. "Piper Silverfeather." He said it back in likewise fashion, what she expected him to not want to take that one down at all? Silly little Pip. "Just can't resist now can I?"

A chuckle.
"So what were you writing about, the necromancy or my talk about the Rujarkian orc clan? recent things were found int eh deserts of ro. Takish-Hiz, the capitol of what used to be the Elddar captial..the race all three of modren elves are desended from..the rujarkian orcs..Miragul's menegeris was uncovered as well. he was a fine example of why humans shouldn't tamper with magic."
a small grin.
"But Norrath herself is a wide and varied place. full of legends and stories and great and infamous figures. maybe someday you woudl like to see mroe than just Neriak."

"I write exactly what I hear and sketch exactly what I see and here, Malik." Indeed he did, and despite the speed in which he did all of it, it was quite legible...well to someone who knew surface elf text that was. Kieran rarely wrote in common, thought it too untrustworthy really. And as Malik continued his little talk, Kieran merely kept writing it all as he usually did. A smile from the elven scholor. "Indeed quite the proposition." Followed by a laugh. "Nice to know I'm going to have you as a son in law."
Malik liked to talk about things and Kieran liked to listen about things. They were perfect to hole up in a room together really. Though she had to admit, she alwasys did like to listen to Malik say his little pieces of information. He talked with a certain tone of fondness in a way. " You two are so cute, did you both know that?" Oh she just had to say it out loud.

"Cute? did you hear that, Keiran..we're 'cute'."
A small chuckle and a shake of his head.
"you know, you'll ruin my dark nad forboding reputation with talk like that."
Then back to Keiran, rubbing his chin lightly with his hand.
"As a scholar, you'd probably never leave the Plane of Knowledge once you got there. and you'd spend weeks in the Felwithe library and mage tower. Yes I've been in Felwithe. not looking like this though. Rogue allies have construsted many masks that alter appearance. I beleive I gave one to you, didn't I piper?"
Another little poke about her secret she was hiding from her dad. and a grin at Keiran.
"And I'm sure the gnomish clockworks would fascinate you for a few decades as well."

"Mori estela, forya Simpetar?"
"Forya." She gave a giggle and a specific mischievous look to Malik. Took the words right out of her mouth really. And if Malik wanted to know...well he'd have to learn fast or figure a way to get it out of her. "Fine if you don't want to be cute, I can call you ruggedly handsome today what with your half messy hair and no armor. But don't worry a'mael, I'll take care to not polish up your dark ways." Though then she eyed her fork at his comment and took to contemplating on flinging it at him. What was he doing, trying to get her to tell her father, or get her father to ask? Piper resisted the urge to sink down in her chair as well. "Yes...but who knows where it's gone now..."
"I like to think of myself as handsome opposed to cute, but I have been told the streaks in my hair matching my ear tips is cute. Women, they have their particular choice words." A chuckle at that, snapping his current journal closed with one hand, a small gleam of soft light zipping across the book's edge a moment. Binding spell. "Sounds like quite the little well of knowledge, and all good wells should never be dry nor drained of their substances. I like my learning hands on personally. My take will always be different from another's, yet could reach the same means in how we finally looked at it." Yes, Malik fascinated him, as well as Malik's knowledge. For a cousin to a drow he was certainly quite wide spread in his knowledge. "You like to know your surroundings and potential enemies all to well, don't you Malik?"
